Diploma in Pharmacy Technician

Program Overview

Pharmacy Technicians are a critical part of the health care team. They work closely with Pharmacists and ensure that the highest standards of quality and accuracy are met in the compounding and dispensing of prescription medications. Their scope of practice includes receiving and transcribing verbal prescriptions, transferring prescriptions, and performing final checks.

Stenberg’s Pharmacy Technician program is designed to prepare students for Pharmacy Technician positions in community or hospital pharmacies. Hands-on skills are developed in the lab setting and clinical competencies are mastered at affiliated clinical partner sites (hospitals and community pharmacies). It’s Stenberg College’s mission to offer an exceptional career-oriented Pharmacy Technician Program with a goal to prepare graduates who:

  • Demonstrate the knowledge base, skills, and attitudes consistent with industry expectations for entry-level employment. Graduates will be able to meet competency requirements set out by the National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities (NAPRA).
  • Successfully complete the regulated licensing exams and Structured Practical Training (SPT) required to become a Regulated Pharmacy Technician and qualify for registration with the College of Pharmacists in their province within 12 months of program completion.

Our program is designed with a vision to educate potential students about the career of a Regulated Pharmacy Technician (RPhT) within Canada in an accurate and transparent manner. Through this program, we want to make Pharmacy Technician training accessible to qualified applicants who prefer an in-class learning experience and graduate job-ready entry-to-practice Pharmacy Technicians who are recognized as a vital part of the health care team.
